About this map

Blacks Fork and its complex of desert tributaries define this landscape along the border of Lincoln and Uinta Counties. The map centers on the high desert terrain of the Green River Basin, where the meandering Muddy Cr joins the larger Blacks Fork drainage system. Human presence in this arid environment is concentrated around water access and transportation routes, with the landmark Church Butte standing as a prominent topographic feature in the southeastern corner.

Evidence of historical movement through the region is found at Rocky Crossing and along Church Butte Rd, reflecting the sparse but vital infrastructure of the Wyoming high plains. The transition from the flat bottomlands of Porter Hollow to the surrounding ridgelines provides a detailed look at the hydrology and land divisions, including the township and range boundaries that define local ranching and land use.
